Abstract :
10% and 20% of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane was introduced into thesilicalite-1 pore-structure by utilising in situ deposition method andsubsequently oxidized to sulphonic acid silicalite-1 membrane. The resultingorganic-inorganic hybrid membrane was characterized for its crystallinity andorientation (XRD), surface morphology and thickness (SEM) and elementspresent in the membrane (EDAX). Sulphonic acid functionalised silicalite-1membrane is a new type of catalytic shape selective membrane which may beuseful for combined separation and reaction process.
